Initiator configuration

The initiator's iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) and alias should be configured after installation. Default values for the IQN and alias are set by the initiator which may not be unique in the iSCSI domain. The IQN can be modified as follows:

$ iscsictl modify initiator-config -node-name <IQN>

Where <IQN> is specified as defined in RFC3720 (see [iSCSI overview](iSCSI overview)). The initiator alias may similarly be configured:

$ iscsictl modify initiator-config -node-alias <alias>

These values are part of the initiator configuration that can be viewed using the list subcommand:

$ iscsictl list initiator-config
iqn.2015-01.com.localhost:initiator
	node-alias localhost
	Authentication: none
		CHAP-name localhost
		CHAP-secret <unspecified>

Authentication is disabled by default and may be configured if desired (see Authentication for more information).
